AEI's Philip Wallach will be joining us to lead a discussion of his book, Why Congress. If you don't have the time to check out the whole book, you can read a satirical excerpt at The New Atlantis, in which Wallach lays out a potential future where Congress transforms into nothing more than a "Rubber Stamp" for the popular will (in another scenario outlined in the book, "Decrepitude," Congress continues on its current dysfunctional trajectory). How can Congress avoid both of these dreary futures?
